| I do my best to show the colours as accurately as possible in the photos, but sometimes my phone has its own ideas ;) Please remember that shades may also look slightly different depending on your screen settings. If I have added several photos, it is worth looking at all of them together for the best colour reference. |

When this beanie is a good choice
The NANA style works well if you are looking for a plain merino beanie without a turn-up, one that sits close to the head without creating a stiff, bulky layer. The elongated back suits everyday outfits and leaves room to wear your hair comfortably under the beanie. The Light Lavender shade is cool and muted, so it may not be the right choice if you want a strong, high-contrast colour accent.
Baby merino wool and skin contact
This beanie is made from 100% Baby Merino yarn certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 Class I, with a smooth surface and no halo. I choose this yarn with people sensitive to itchiness in mind — this style is suitable for sensitive skin, unless you have an individual sensitivity to wool itself.
Shape and fit
This is a classic merino beanie without a turn-up, with a clearly elongated back. The single rib throughout helps the beanie stay in place and adapt to the shape of the head, while keeping its characteristic soft drape at the back. The medium-weight knit gives practical warmth for autumn and winter, without the feel of a heavy, bulky hat pulled very low over the forehead.
What this means in everyday wear
- Medium-weight knit – suitable warmth for cool autumn days and winter in the city, though in prolonged strong frost it may need an extra layer, such as a hood.
- Single rib throughout – adds elasticity, so the beanie adapts better to different head shapes and does not slip easily during everyday movement.
- No turn-up – reduces bulk around the forehead and ears, which is practical under a hood or a jacket with a high collar, but it also means a thinner layer of knit in those areas.
- Smooth, non-fluffy surface – picks up less fine debris and is easier to freshen up day to day, which is practical for frequent wear.
- Medium resistance to pilling – light pilling may appear over time in areas exposed to friction, such as under a hood or near a collar, so it is best to avoid intense rubbing.
- Handmade on knitting needles – each piece may differ slightly in stitch placement, which does not affect wear but highlights the handmade character.
- Merino wool tested in everyday use over time – confirms that the fibre’s natural resilience helps the beanie return to shape after wearing and proper drying, as long as it is washed as recommended.
Finishing and matching accessories
The beanie is finished with an eco-leather label that can be conveniently unclipped before hand washing. If you like a detail at the top, you can add a matching pom-pom in the same yarn in Light Lavender. To create a set for colder days, you can pair it with a shawl, snood or scarf from the same accessories category: matching shawls, wraps and snoods. To help preserve the shape and qualities of the yarn, please see the short guide to wool care and use hand washing in lukewarm water.
